Defonte's Sandwiches ·$$

A wide range of savory sandwiches await you at Defonte's in Brooklyn. Established in the early 1900s by an Italian immigrant Nick Defonte, it is a popular stop to grab a delicious sandwich for locals on the go. The elaborate menu includes sandwiches stuffed with turkey, roast beef, ham and egg, veggies and more. 'The Dino' filled with meatball, parmesan cheese, and traditional Italian sauce and 'Defonte's Cuban' stuffed with pork, ham, pickles and a variety of sauces are among the most favorite orders of the patrons here. Apart from hefty sandwiches, this little eatery also serves hot plates, sides, salads and a couple of beverages.

Only been once but that experience was Top Tier. I consider myself a sandwich connoisseur. My friends always ask for sandwich recommendations. I might have found the best sandwich in America....

It's an old school classic sandwich place. The potato and egg with marinara is my fave! If you're in the neighborhood. Stop by this gem.
